Silent Night Memoria

Silent Night Memorial Chapel...the village church in Oberndorf, Austria where "Silent Night" was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 was torn down due to flood damage in the early 1900's. This chapel was built on the site. Every Christmas Eve a service is held here, and "Silent Night" is performed as it originally was, accompanied by guitar. It is first sung in the original German, then everyone in attendance joins in the singing in their own language.
